Background Despite growing interest in male–female differences in cardiovascular disease, evidence in infective endocarditis ...

Background Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) and right ventricular (RV) fractional area change (FAC) are ...

Background Despite standardised approaches, subjective assessment and inconsistent diagnostic testing for chest pain in the emergency department (ED) drive costs, disparities and adverse outcomes.

Objective To investigate whether aligning exercise timing with chronotype enhances cardiometabolic and sleep-related benefits ...

Objective Sex differences play a critical role in the presentation, progression and treatment outcomes of cardiac diseases. However, historical male predominance in clinical studies has led to ...

Hypertension is a complex, multifactorial, heterogeneous disorder for which the exact aetiology has yet to be elucidated. Clinical and experimental trials have suggested that magnesium may play a role ...

Background Left ventricular (LV) thrombus is a complication of myocardial infarction and dilated cardiomyopathy and is associated with a high thromboembolic risk. Although warfarin has traditionally ...

Objectives Peak exercise systolic blood pressure (SBP) is associated with future cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality. We aimed to evaluate the predictive value of different SBP patterns at the ...

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF)-induced cardiomyopathy (AIC) is characterised by reversible left ventricular (LV) dysfunction after restoration of sinus rhythm (SR). The need for continued ...

Background Cryoballoon ablation, especially Arctic Front Advance Pro (AFA-Pro) (Medtronic, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA), has been widely recognised as a standard approach to atrial fibrillation (AF).

Objectives Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) may be beneficial to patients following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and open surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). We aimed ...
